I tell my students that I’m going to read each sentence three times, but that they are not allowed to ask me to go back to any words. First, I read it verrrrrry slowly. Second, I read it at a normal classroom pace. Last, I read it like a native speaker unaccustomed to speaking with language learners. I do this to build up their confidence with the individual sounds on the first iteration, confirm what they have heard on the second, and then see what it sounds like at full speed on the last.
Another similar activity to reduce stress is spelling. I choose 10 words and spell them one by one in the TL. After each one, we translate the word. I do it with slides so they can check the spelling. It’s a quick prep before and provides a very peaceful 10-15 minutes in class. I just spell words and click through slides. If you need more down time, have the students write original sentences using the words.
